Q. Two concentric spherical shells with uniformly distributed masses M1 = kg and M2 = kg are situated as shown . Find the magnitude Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force on a particle of mass m = kg, due to the shells, when the particle is located at radial distance (a) a = m, (b) b = m, and (c) c =m. (Note: a is outside of M2, b is outside of M1 but inside of M2, and c is inside of M1)
